Thanks, Mike. It's still my Daily Driver. Bought it in 1973, when I was 23. Turned over 400,000 last summer. Third engine. Actually the Original block that I put up in crates in '77 when we rebuilt another 292 at MCAS Yuma AZ. That one I got 250,000 out of, before I pulled it and rebuilt the block I have now.
Badger pistons at .030 over, larger intake valves [1.84''] Crane 260H cam, Offy intake, Edelbrock 1404 500 CFM 4 barrel, Clifford headers. GM HEI. SM465, 12 Bolt 3.73 Posi. N-pipe exhaust crossover. I'm always suprized by the guys that think I've been saving their next ''Barn Find'' for them to chop, cut, relocate the gas to below the frame, lower, paint pink, mount on tricycle spoked wheels, LS-ify and flip for X multiples of what they think I'll take for it.
They don't know I'm on this Forum for 19 years, and know what's up.
